Thats Blizzard ANYTHING. Every Blizard ive ever tried to throw, does so like a dried up hunk of dog sh*t, and the vast majority are domey. The Krait is a great disc, its the plastic you chose that made it fly crappy.

I have a blizzard krait that's actually pretty flat and I really like the way it flies. But but based on other comments around these forums, blizzard plastic does seem to be hit or miss.

I have a Star Destroyer with similar attributes. Weird areola dome top. Flies over-stable comparatively to others. I will say it's a beautiful disc. Looks like a big slice of lemon. Like a big lemon breast. So is there a consensus on the Krait? Is it a worn Destroyer off the shelf? or is it the next Groove(gasp!)? My NOT-go-to bag would consist of an Archon, a Krait, a Tern, and a Groove? The hypothenuse is based solely on chatter. Hypothenuse, triple word score!

I'm gave the krait a second go and purposely chose one with a bit higher plh. I gotta say I'm loving it. Great for hyzer flips and it has tons of glide. The fade is foward and consistent for great relatively straight distance. It holds a big anny bomb well. It takes more torque than I like to roll but it does roll very very nice and straight. Like a faster fr sidewinder when it's rolling. I would say this is the disc I wanted the archon to be. It never flips out if thrown flat and hard just a drifting turn to the right with enough fade to bring it back in line. Mine will fight a headwind decently but I'd never trust it if it was an important shot however mainly because I don't trust myself not the disc.

Has anyone thrown both the Tern and Krait? I don't know if there is enough difference to try both and was looking for a comparison of the 2.

I have both bagged. They're not very similar, to be honest. The Tern, for me, offers huge s-curves when thrown flat. My Kraits, even my most worn-in ace Krait, gets very minimal turn and a nice, forward-penetrating fade. I will say both discs come in nice and flat, and dont dive out hard on the fade for me.

The Krait is a great utility driver for me, whereas the Tern is more for big distance with room to work. I can use the Krait on tight, long fairways, where the Tern would not be ideal.

They're both nice discs...The Krait has slightly more fade, and the tern a touch more glide. They both will hold a tight straight line, although the tern feels a bit more "effortless" Throwing the krait reminds me a bit of throwing a more seasoned SPD...which is not a bad thing. They're not hugely different, but enough where I have them both bagged right now.

Hmmm, very intersting. I am thinking that I might like to try out both these disc now. I know that the Tern is coming in that fresh new Champ. plastic. Is the Krait also using that plastic?

[davmer2303]

I actually have a halloween version of the krait in star, but I'm pretty sure the krait is only available in regular champ and blizzard champ..(unless you find one of the black, halloween ones)

I wish the Kraits were in the new champ. I bought one the day they came out, the plastic mine is molded in feels very slick and has a lot of "blizzard chatter" on the top side of the wing. Nice disc. I tried to flatten it, but it still has a noticeable dome. Basically a faster SL, which I love. I think it would be fantastic in Star if it doesn't mold up domey. Has anyone thrown a Star Krait yet? I heard Innova made them for Halloween, but I never saw one.
